Speed limit display

The speed limit indicator is available as an option for all models. A camera in the rear-view mirror housing identifies traffic signs such as speed limits or overtaking restrictions and the end of such restrictions. Speed limit and overtaking restrictions are shown on the color display on the instrument cluster and in the PCM. If a sign is not identified (e.g. in heavy rain), the speed limit stored in the navigation module is automatically displayed.

Cruise Control

This automatic speed control function is integrated as standard in the 911 Turbo S and the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet and available as an option for the 911 Turbo and the 911 Turbo Cabriolet. For greater driver comfort on long stretches of road. Cruise control operates in the 18 to 149 mph speed range and is activated using a button on the steering column control stalk.

Adaptive Cruise Control including Porsche Active Safe (PAS)

Available as an option, this cruise control function regulates your speed according to the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front. If you have set a cruising speed, but have begun to gain on the vehicle in front because it is driving more slowly, this is detected by the radar sensor.

The system now reduces the speed of your vehicle by restricting the throttle or gently applying the brakes, until the distance that you have preset is maintained. Your vehicle will now continue at a reduced speed. If the other vehicle decelerates further, adaptive cruise control will continue to reduce your cruising speed – even down to a halt.

For additional safety, if the system detects that the distance from the vehicle in front is decreasing, it will also prepare your vehicle for braking by precharging the braking system so that the brake pads are already in light contact with the brake discs. However, drivers still have to perform heavier braking themselves.

As soon as the road ahead clears again, your vehicle will accelerate back up to the cruising speed originally set.

If your vehicle approaches the vehicle in front too quickly, Porsche Active Safe (PAS) will issue audible and visual warnings. In addition, the system briefly jerks the brakes and if necessary initiates target braking, with any braking pressure applied by the driver being increased within certain system limits.
